Looking forward to this progressing as I have had one on the go for nearly 20 years or so, its in the "TO DO" stage.

Shaun.

Sweet ride.

I've got the 1/24 version unbuilt, going to be watching to see if I can pinch some detailing ideas from its big brother.

One of my favorite cars, I'm not a car modeller but it's on my list to build one of these and make it look like a certain one from a show called the Devil Z.

Bit more done to her and some colour.

Post by **KalebB** » Thu Dec 29, 2022 8:51 pm

Kids and their toys....

One of my favourite cars too along side the Toyota Supra from the 80's

That looks like a nice kit. Looking good so far.

Thanks guys torn between depicting her pristine or rusty.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sat Dec 31, 2022 6:04 pm

Work on the engine.

Post by **KalebB** » Sat Dec 31, 2022 6:38 pm

Looking good! Just a touch filthy I like that

Post by **BigWall** » Sat Dec 31, 2022 9:15 pm

Great looking engine! My vote is for pristine but rusty would look good too. Which would fill in a spot on your builds better?

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 7:33 pm

More done to the engine

Post by **DRUMS01** » Mon Jan 02, 2023 12:50 am

looking real nice so far... I have the rally version of this kit to build. I'm gleaning things from your string that I may incorporate into mine eventually. Good choice of body color (IMHO).

Engines looking almost ready to roar to life eh?

Post by **kpisnuts** » Tue Jan 03, 2023 9:22 pm

More done to her.

Post by **KalebB** » Tue Jan 03, 2023 9:39 pm

Brakes and engine both looking fantastic

Post by **kpisnuts** » Fri Jan 06, 2023 8:58 pm

More done on this.

Post by **KalebB** » Sat Jan 07, 2023 1:02 am

Looking good, steering and brakes ready to go

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:56 pm

More done to the 240Z want to add more detail to the bulkhead but the way they have moulded it (half of the bulkhead is on the body) I will have to wait till I add the body.

Post by **cor** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 12:19 am

Nice job on the brake lines and electrical wiring.

Post by **KalebB** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 8:40 am

Love the added detail, really brings the engine bay and brake details together

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sun Jan 15, 2023 8:24 pm

More details added to the 240Z

Post by **KalebB** » Mon Jan 16, 2023 1:25 am

Bay is looking fantastic, great detail work

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:54 pm

Here's the next installment

Post by **cor** » Sun Jan 22, 2023 7:04 am

I like that last shot from the rear. That car has such a nice shape. Looking very nice. Paintwork it excellent on the body

Post by **ForeverPlasticKits** » Sun Jan 22, 2023 5:02 pm

Your paint is awesome, your kit looks terrible!

Post by **kpisnuts** » Fri Jan 27, 2023 9:06 pm

Nearing completion.

Post by **cor** » Sat Jan 28, 2023 12:49 am

Looking good. Funky colour scheme.

Post by **kpisnuts** » Sun Feb 05, 2023 8:33 pm

Well the Z is done

Post by **BigWall** » Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:40 pm

Nice! Cool car and very well built!

Post by **ForeverPlasticKits** » Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:44 pm

Well done for the presenting, the engine can be seen entirely and your paint is perfect!

Post by **cor** » Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:13 pm

Nice work. I like the diorama.

Post by **DRUMS01** » Mon Feb 06, 2023 10:44 pm

Really good work, congrats. on the final outcome. Very clean build and the stuff that should be clean and shiny are and the dirty or casting item look the part too (really well done). Looks like a Porsche man with a sentimental side for Japanese sport classics.

Now being 1/12 scale, where re you going to display it?

Post by **kpisnuts** » Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:23 pm

It will probably end up in the shed till I 5hink of something else to do with it.

Post by **digger303** » Fri Feb 10, 2023 11:50 pm

Really nicely done.
